The greatest aspect of this online journal is that it can be a conversation, a free exchange of ideas between writer and reader. Thus I thought it important at this time to say thank you to my readership for sharing this ongoing experience with me. Thank you, Julie.
Of course, there have been a few other readers, and so I thank them as well, wherever they may have gone (how can I question their transient loyalties when there is so much online pornography out there competing with my small ramblings?)
In fact, the comments of these ephemeral visitors have inspired some of my most eloquent entries, and so I wanted to open up the virtual floor to any visitor who would like to posit a topic for discussion.
Why was the American Civil War inevitable? How fast can a 2002 Nissan Pathfinder go? What do I really think of you? I’ll be your literary gumball machine; put your comment in, turn the knob, and see what comes out.
Best of all, I know that all my truly devoted friends will eagerly participate, so the number of comments left with this entry will also function as a scientifically indisputable record of the number of people in this world that actually care about me. Superfantastic!
